Edit. note the tower is called the shot tower, that is the place lead shot was made a long time ago by poring molten lead from the top and by the time it had hit the bottom it formed in to round balls or lead shot.

Thank you for the link.

My understanding is that such "shot towers" had a tank of cold water at the bottom so that the lead was slowed in the final moments of its decent and also cooled rapidly.
